Hi Paul,

we can reproduce the problem on our side, but I don't have direct access
to a MIPS system so I'm still just guessing what happens. If you want
you can try the attached patches.

I'm trying to get rid of the polling around the interrupt altogether.
It works fine on Thunderx, sometimes I run into an interrupt timeout 
after a lost-arbitration but recovery/retry is able to clean that up.

Please also revert 70121f7 as before. The last patch adds some debugging
output to see if we run into timeouts or recovery.

thanks,
Jan
